From Daily Hustle to Intentional Flow: Why I’m Shifting to Three Blog Posts a Week

-

When I started blogging every day, I honestly didn’t know how long I’d keep it going. I just knew I had a LOT to say—and a lot happening as I launched my Etsy shop, juggled a full-time job, and figured out what the heck UVDTF even stood for.

Now that I’ve officially passed my one-month Etsy-versary (Feb 12, thank you very much!), I’m stepping back to reflect—and to make a slight but mighty shift in my blogging routine.

Why the Change?

Let’s be real: posting every single day takes work. And while I LOVE sharing the journey—wins, flops, glitter explosions, weird messages, and all—I also know that:

  • Quality > quantity

  • Real life is busy

  • And creativity needs a little breathing room

What’s Next?

Moving forward, I’m planning to blog three times a week—a schedule that gives me space to keep creating, keep learning, and still share the behind-the-scenes of growing my small biz with all of you.

Expect the same real talk, same laughs, same sparkle… just on a rhythm that fits better with the life I’m building.

Why This Feels Right

This past month, I’ve:

  • Shipped out over 40 orders (thank you!!)

  • Launched print-on-demand t-shirts (!!)

  • Balanced my full-time job...haha, balance

  • Organized inventory (again)

  • Learned about SEO, pricing, and shipping the hard way and still learning...

  • Set boundaries around my time and energy

  • And still made time to support my family

Whew. That’s a lot!  Sooooo, this isn’t slowing down.

This is shifting into sustainable, intentional momentum - woah big words!

Here’s to…

šŸŒ€ Flexibility
šŸŽµ Finding your rhythm
šŸ”„ Knowing when to pivot
✨ And still doing what lights you up

Whether I’m posting three times or five, this blog is still my space to share, connect, and grow. I’m so grateful you’re on the journey with me.

My First Sale - That wasn't a friend or family member.

-
There comes a moment in every small business owner’s journey that feels like a rite of passage. No, I’m not talking about picking the perfect logo or finally figuring out how to price your products without second-guessing yourself (although those are both real struggles). I’m talking about The First Sale. Not the “Oh, honey, I’ll buy one” from your mom. Not the “I love your work! Do you take Venmo?” from your bestie. Not even the “I’ll support your business!” purchase from your cousin who still owes you money from 2009. I mean the first REAL sale —from a complete stranger. Someone who doesn’t share your last name, isn’t in your group chat, and gasp actually wants what you made! How It Happened So, there I was, minding my own business (literally), when I got The Notification. You know the one. šŸ“© Cha-ching! You’ve made a sale! At first, I assumed it was my sister or a coworker trying to be sneaky. But when I checked the order details… I didn’t recognize the name. I blinked. Could...

✨ Flex Friday: Fiesta, Family & a Sparkly Little CEO in Training ✨

-
Sometimes the biggest wins don’t come from big crowds or big booths… They come from a two-hour craft fair at an elementary school , under paper flowers, surrounded by community, family, and the unexpected magic of handmade joy. This week’s flex? A Fiesta-themed event hosted by my niece Gracie’s school , and y’all — it ended up being everything. Gracie, the Accidental CEO šŸ‘§šŸ»✨ Knowing she might get a little bored, I brought Gracie some silicone beads to play with while she sat at my booth. You know, just something to keep her busy. Cut to: Gracie crafting up the cutest little keychains you’ve ever seen , and casually laying them out on the table like she’s been doing markets for years. No sign. No price. Just sitting there being adorable. Then it happened… A woman walked by, picked one up and said, “Oh my gosh… these keychains are BEAUTIFUL!” šŸ˜ I blinked. Gracie blinked. I said, “Yep! They’re for sale!” ( Internally: Are they? They are now. ) The lady BOUGHT it. Gra...

šŸ” Flex Friday: 3 Things That Helped My Etsy Listings Get Found

-
 Let’s talk about something that every shop owner stresses over at some point: “How do I get my listings SEEN on Etsy?” When I first launched Rise Up Designs, I spent hours creating products — tumblers, wraps, keychains — and then stared at my stats wondering why no one was finding them. šŸ˜© Sound familiar? Now, I’m not saying I cracked the Etsy algorithm (I wish! šŸ˜‚), but I have figured out a few key moves that made a difference in getting found — and getting sales. So for today’s Flex Friday, I’m sharing 3 real things that helped my listings show up more consistently. 1️⃣ Get serious about your titles Your title isn’t just a description — it’s a search tool. I used to write cutesy or vague titles, but now I start by thinking: šŸ’” What would my ideal customer type into the search bar? Example: Instead of “Sparkle Teacher Cup” I go with:  Teacher Tumbler with Straw – Back to School Gift – Glitter Glass Can – Teacher Appreciation Gift Idea It may sound less poetic, b...
